As Eruin, as well as the busiest commercial port and cargo distribution center in the south of the Cruze, from the early morning when the shaky, cold lights hang from the lampposts, until the sea rises like the moon, the port is endless. Merchants and dock workers are busy all day long, accumulating an amazing amount of wealth for this Palembang. Only during the season when storms visit the shining sea in the middle of the year, this golden route will be deserted and the residents of the city will stop and rest for a while. Time.
The chief priest of Wood wore a white robe with red borders standing under the white stone lighthouse. A figure like him was sent here by the temple to serve as the headmaster of the Diocese of Ampersel, as well as the spiritual leader of the entire temple of Eruinyan. As long as you stay in this position for another fifteen years, you will have the qualifications to enter the power core of the temple and become one of the eleven great priests. At that point, even the position of high priest of the temple is just one step. Far away.
Ordinary people can’t imagine what he wants to pursue for a position like this—Wood has a thin face and sunken cheeks. Although he is less than eighty years old, he looks like a weather-tested old man with only a pair of sunken eyes. His eyes are piercing, and his majesty is so majestic that ordinary people can’t help being timid—the chief priest pursed his lips, his face is calm, but his heart is not much larger than that of Eruin’s nobles. We are much calmer.
"The Lion of Toquinine is ready to move, and there must be the support of the Earth Temple behind it." Wood stood on the hillside, watching the sailing ships in and out of the harbor, leaving long trails in the blue water bay. The sails like clouds constitute a wonder in the waters of the trestle bridge. Every channel is full of senior navigators waiting to enter and exit. The wealth contained in this endless stream makes this high-ranking big man unable to help for a while. Some sighed, "Eluin is the front line against the Temple of the Earth, and we must not tolerate this civil strife lasting too long, and the time left for us is running out."
Next to him, his friend Icahn nodded in agreement. The two have been partners in this position for many years, although neither of them are natives of Eruin, but they know this ancient kingdom well. "However, the Lions are ready to move. It is estimated that they will have to wait until next year if they really want to commit a crime, especially when the food is confiscated this fall.
Wood glanced at his companion.
"Do you know how old this White Rock Lighthouse is, Icahn?"
The priest Icahn glanced at the lighthouse next to them, which was once a symbol of Ampersel. When Xianjun Ake established a port here, Amperisel was far smaller than it is today, and it was not a so-called trading port. This lighthouse once guided Xianjun Ake’s navy and the navy of the Temple of Flame in the vicinity. Fighting on the sea, the White Rock Lighthouse has always been regarded as a symbol of Eruin, a symbol of perseverance in the dark.
"It's a pity that the lighthouse was destroyed in a fire fifty years ago, and its historical value was also burned. Although the new lighthouse was rebuilt, it is not the original one after all." Icahn understood what his companion meant, and he admired the royal party. And the princess, because they have the same persistence to glory as themselves, but history is history, and Wood obviously reminded him to treat all of this fairly.
"This kingdom is the same. No matter how many years of history it has, the glory it insisted on has been abandoned by its descendants, and what is left is just a shell. In comparison, it is given a new mission, just like this Just like a lighthouse, it is the value it deserves."
"I understand, Master Master." Icahn replied humbly.
Lord Wood nodded. The temple has always been fair and will not easily intervene in the internal affairs of the subordinate countries, so that authority can be guaranteed. He has partnered with his assistant for many years and appreciates the other's insistence on justice and glory, but now and then, he will never allow his assistant to intervene in Eruin's internal affairs and favor the princess.
Thinking of this, the chief priest couldn't help but look back at the direction of the city. Ampsel is one of the largest giant cities in the south. The roofs of the port connected to the back extend far to the horizon like ant dens. The tallest building in the city is undoubtedly the temple of the Temple of Flame. The temple is looming in the mist. He couldn't help but remember what the little girl Magdal had mentioned to him, and couldn't help shaking his head.
That is impossible, the temple will not fall to which side in any case, it is impossible for the great priest to be so haste.
It was at this time that the bell on the white lighthouse rang again. The bell of the large bronze bell made the ground nearby shudder, and the sand and stones shook, spreading dozens of miles away, and even half of the city could be clearly heard. . The bell signaled that there was a boat entering the port. Wood and Icahn looked up and saw a sailing ship with three large sails entering the port.
"It's the ship coming back from Rubik." Icahn recognized the flag on the ship and immediately recognized it.
"This season the storm is about to block the waterway to the south. This should be the last ship to return from Rubik this month. It's a little bit late. The people who have been sailing at sea all year round are desperate." Wood took a look at the ship. Can't help sighing.
"Everyone in the world is blinded by money. Although wealth is important, it is not as valuable as life." Icahn also shook his head.
But this time the chief priest did not agree. He just sighed with a famous joke of Hessian I, who was ridiculed as the "king of the road" in the history of Eruin: "If there is no wealth, where can life come?"
…
The two priests sighed at the world affairs on Beacon Hill, but the officials of the Ampersel Port Authority were not so leisurely. To be precise, these little people who were so busy on weekdays were almost messed up. Juno Ann Opalis is the heir of an aristocratic family in the city of Amperexel. Relying on his father’s relationship, he finally took the position of Deputy Director of the Port Authority, but it has not been half a week since he took office. , A news that day almost made him immediately throw away the pointed helmet on his head and fled.
"What are you talking about? Parlen, you bastard, what did I tell you yesterday-if you drink more or make fun of me, I will drive you out, I don't care who you are!" The hapless young man almost roared at the messaging spar in his hand, only to smash this worthy thing: "Do you think I'm a fool!"
"No, I mean it!" On the side of the transmission spar, it was Jo Nuo'an's friend. In Eruin’s slang, he is considered a good brother who wears open crotch trousers to play with big brothers. He is also a nobleman. Although he is a bit unreliable, he is a heavy drinker, plays with women during his duty time, fights, and he can commit almost all the things he can commit on the dock. He had committed a crime, but Jo Nuoan kept him here, simply because the relationship between the two was indeed an iron word. But at this moment, the young man who is usually scornful at this moment seems to have been greatly frightened, and said in a weeping tone: "Man, I swear in the name of Master Martha, I didn't lie to you, I really saw one. Sea Whale—Of course, if the woman who claimed to be a female pirate didn’t lie to me last time, listen to me, that thing is exactly the same as her tattoo on her left butt... No, no, I’m going to talk about the thing on the sea now It's much scarier..."
"Go to your mother's butt, don't mention that woman to me." At this moment, Jo Nuoan can't even care about the last restraint of the nobles. Of course, their generation of noble heirs are not much reserved, especially in Ampersel. This is especially true for young people who grew up in this mixed environment. He pulled the collar viciously, but when he heard the other party swear in the name of Martha, he felt a sense of loss, although he also understood that, if possible, the lawless guy might even dare to take the Lord Martha—of course. , This is just talking, Jo Nuoan has now begun to feel a little at a loss.
A sea whale ready to attack the port
God, is he living in some mythical age? Jo Nuoan sat at his precious mahogany desk thinking for a long time, and finally sorted out the following three comprehensive plans:
Roll money absconding, roll money absconding and roll money absconding.
But he immediately rubbed his hair into a ball. If he did that, his old man would have killed him first. Jo Nuoan was born as lawless as his good brother. Even the King of Eruin was not even half scared, but he immediately showed his true shape in front of his old man. His legs became weak when he thought of his old man's anger. Three points, finally grabbed the transmission spar, swallowed for a long time, and said, "Brother, ask for more blessings, I'll take a step ahead" and blurted out: "You wait for me, I will come right away!"
The sailors were in a mess on the port, but someone on the sea was looking at Ampersel, who was right in front of him, at a distance, but he felt helpless in his heart.
"Ampexel, a port city and surrounding areas, towns with a population of 310,000 people, a huge magic system maintains the operation of the city, sewage, lighting, water supply, and disposal of domestic garbage are rare in the countryside south of Eruin. The mysterious magic at first sight can be seen everywhere here. Merchants spend a lot of money to hire wizards to serve them. Some of these wizards have worked here for decades, and their status is deeply entrenched. The wizards formed a guild by themselves, called'Ampiser Eye of Er'."
"This wizard organization not only maintains the daily operation of the city, but also intervenes in the security of the port, prevents adventurers from fighting, set up city locks to prohibit foreign wizards from casting spells in the city, and they also set up a super large ban in the inner city of Ampersel. The air law formation prevents the port from being attacked from the sky."
Brando stood on the side of the ship, introduced it to others, and suddenly sighed. He turned his head, with a look of helplessness in his eyes that was almost desperate, and finally saw the legendary monster, the king of sea beasts, the huge sea monster whale that was as big as the mountains and rivers, shook them at them like a naughty child. After shaking the fins, he slowly dived into the deep sea.
"My old man said that the intelligence of the sea magic whale is not inferior to that of an adult, and it seems to be the case now." Captain James couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
But Antitina looked at Brando suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are you giving those Naga? I see how they look at your eyes as if they are looking at their king. , They actually let the sea magic whale keep sending us into the port, how can we hide our identities now?"
"But I heard that the king of Naga is a woman." Little Roman has been able to appear freely on the deck after a week of training. She turned her eyes and directly became Brando's mother.
Brando wiped his sweat. He didn't expect the Nagas to be so "hospitable", but he could do things like letting the sea magic whale send them into the port. Brando felt that except for Saner's idiot Besides, most people really can't do such a creative thing.
He coughed and said in disbelief: "It depends on the situation. Anyway, the people in the harbor don't know that this big guy is following us, as long as we don't admit it." After that, he looked at the young captain. . James shrugged and replied: "Lord Lord does not want to be famous, and naturally he will not go on his behalf. The lord on my boat, please don't worry." The young captain here was also a little helpless: "To be honest, now you sir The prestige among them is much higher than me. Even if I don’t say it, they will be tight-lipped about it.” What he said is naturally that Brando’s two bottles of holy water have played a miraculous effect. It can be said that the sailors on the entire ship are now Respect Brando, a kind and kind noble master who has the sword saint as his mentor.
